Probably mid grey to lighter shades...

Probably mid grey to lighter shades...

Been pushing greys in wet areas for 2-3 yrs now, it's a much better choice imo.
Main reason being if u go for a darker shade your wet area should stay looking new for many yrs with no grout discolouration.
As a bi product of that it makes my job easier 😀
Same grout walls and floors and no grout bleed to worry about at wall and floor transitions!

They all look great. Do you know which colour you used in the first 2 photos?

I've been trying to think back all morning actually, and I can't I'm afraid.
All I can say is that I usually try to get what used to be known as just a basic grey grout. Seems they don't just call it grey grout anymore haha all got fancy names.
If u take a look at Geoffs Mapei colour sticks above they would most resemble 113-114 but I'd be swaying more towards 114
sorry, not a massive help I know.

I know, there are about 5 different shades...too much choice! I am trying to create the effect in the picture below. I can't decide between 113 or 114. When i zoom in on the picture it definitely looks lie they've used quite a dark grout. I prefer 144 but don't want it to look to busy or too black. I think the 113 is too safe though and not dramatic enough. What would you use? I've also included a pic of our

unfinished bathroom.

In that case if u were my customer I would make up a board and tile it with off cuts, then get 113&114, and I would divide it into 5 sections.
Then start with grouting
1st section with 113,
2nd with 114,
3rd 50/50 113-114,
4th 75% 113 + 25% 114 and finally section
5 25% 113 & 75% 114
and see what u'd like 🙂

I've thought about doing that but it's an expensive way of doing it! Where are you based? We might need a new tiler.

I don't know is the cost of getting it right better than not liking the end result?
U can get 2.5kg Mapei grout bags. Buy the two small ones and then hopefully u'll find a lend u like.
